only just realised it's a chain! Daft name for one pub let alone a franchise. I used to live near one about 20 years ago at *location redacted* and accidentally (ok a prank went wrong) went home with the huge key to their safe one night. I returned it the next day and have never been more sheepish
Broadcasters and press have a responsibility to our communities - and repeatedly centring exceptional negative cases while ignoring the overwhelming reality — people/families building lives, survivors seeking safety, communities contributing economically and socially — distorts public understanding.
what a great shout. Just got around to watching this, thought it was wonderful - unique and unsettling and committed.
The director talks about his experience making it in this RTE piece and now I'm even more impressed. More "weird & confusing" films please, Paul! www.rte.ie/culture/2024...
I had hopes that a Labour govt would make settling in the country I was born in easier and/or more affordable for us than under the Tories, but it seems they have other ideas
Thread. Please read - this deeply unfair & expensive policy affects families like mine
Solidarity with and 👏 to everyone attending this today.
I'm over here in DE hoping some of this message gets through to Starmer & co, so I and my non-UK family can move to the UK 🤞 and attend a future march.
(Shocking that marches against the far right are needed in 2026/7/8/? anyway)
1787 my arse
"suffering in silence behind a mask of banter" is a beaut
Finally got around to Sentimental Value. Joachim Trier is a genius, can confirm
very much here for the GTFC / Jane's Addiction lyrics combo, more please 👍
A 6-year-old cancer survivor at Great Ormond Street Hospital could lose vital care due to the Government’s “earned settlement” changes.
The Home Office reduces lives to numbers, ignoring health and safety.
MPs must stop these cruel, dehumanising reforms.

Well fair enough this is what you get for doing something two months late. Still, fun
aces. Congrats Colin, and cheers for flagging this up as something to enter next time. Best of luck with your follow-ups!

It is happening again
oh yes 👏
Watched Sirāt. An incredible cinematic experience, knocked me sideways like no other film for some time. Recommend going in with as little knowledge of the plot/subject matter as possible
thanks for writing this Colin, some much-needed clarity gained from reading
BRUNO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE UK'S NO. 1?!?
Well I'l wait til Easter and cross my fingers for you that the Cutty Sark Spoons is closed and you can enjoy the Gipsy Moth instead. Congrats on sort-of-finishing! Brightened my timeline for sure 👏
421/423 is very exciting times. Like waiting for Bruno Brookes to announce the top 2 in the charts back in the day
incredibly Partridge. Keep walking past all the presidents and there'll be some sort of dig at Noel Edmonds (on a plaque)
you're gonna just have to take the ROUGH WITH THE SMOOOOOOOOOOTH
*cries*
had some decent nights out there until discovering a better pub just down the road. Xmas lunch one year too, our table was right next to the bogs. That was probably the final straw

cripes! Now I feel like I've missed out on something
it's not too bad, aye. I used to work in a shop nearby. The boss was an absolute state and used to buy unwanted rounds of Aftershock (yikes). Once he fell down that long staircase leading to the bogs and a part of him hit every single step on the way. Time stood still. Great days
Tin hats on. All aboard!
fantastic! Idea for an 'at your own risk' sub-crawl: a cheeky half in all of the 0/5 pubs on the same night

50(!) years today since Bruce & The E Street Band's first show at the Hammersmith Odeon.
Great clip, though this show's '...Saint In The City' is even better, partly because Bruce dedicated the song to me ❤️
